Default Do birds eat curry?

Got up this morning was greeted by this ..... Initially thought some b*"*ard had paint balled the car. Closer inspection revealed the culprit as one of the following... a flying elephant, a flock of hippo's or a golden eagle after a serious vindaloo! Make your own mind up. Either way looks like I will be breaking the hose pipe ban today!!

Seagull I think

I work next to a river and run that gauntlet every day... the volume is unbelievable, I've pressure washed the car 3 days this week alone.

If it's seagull, get it off QUICK!
My black STi has a permanent etch in the roof paint from the acids in a seagull poo, despite good quality wax and extra gloss coat on the paint!
OK, so it's virtually invisible, but I know it's there!

Just for info, etching buffs out fairly easily - whilst doing Jool's and JohnS's cars a few weeks back Jool's brother turned up and his had a big etch on one of the doors - five minutes with the PC and it was 100% corrected.

Thanks guys. Pleased to report that the pride and joy has been returned to it's former glory and is none the worse for it's arial assault! I am on 24hr sky watch now - if anything moves within range it gets shot in the ar*e with a 12 bore! The count so far:

12 Sparrows
4 Magpies
6 Crows
1 Seagull
1 Boeing 737
1 Smart ar*e in a helicopter

My airspace is protected - you have been warned!

Happened to me a few weeks ago - about 10 minutes after applying Rain-X to the windscreen - it beaded off which I was most impressed with - although when I got home and found the roof on my DBM classic looked like the scotland flag I was a tad miffed...
